Tusi (also written as tussi, tuci, or tucibi) is a recreational drug that contains a mixture of different psychoactive substances, most commonly found in a pink-dyed powder form known as pink cocaine.^[1][2][3] Tusi is believed to have originated in Latin America around 2018.^[4] Drug-checking studies in Latin America report tusi to be a concoction of ketamine, MDMA, cocaine, methamphetamine, caffeine, opioids, and other new psychoactive substances.^[2] Existing literature suggests there is no standard proportioning of the constituent drugs in tusi.^[1][2]

Though the name "tusi" is phonetically similar to "2C", tuci is not the same psychoactive substance as 2C-B or more broadly, the 2C family. Tuci, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, contained no 2C-B in most instances as of 2022.^[2]
